You could drill it, I wouldn't use the hammer drill though, that's pretty much just for drilling into concrete, you'd probably just end up breaking it apart and may not get the deadbolt to move. Remember, start small and get bigger as you drill more. What type of drill bits are they? Just high speed steel or cobalt or somewhere in between. If they are just hss, good luck, you're going to either burn them up or break them considering that most quality dead bolts are made of high strength/grade steel, equivalent to grade 8 or A325 Structural steel. If you have cobalt, you should be good. If you don't have cobalt, go to a good industrial supplier, I assume you're from Ontario, try Acklands, even though just typing their name makes me feel like a traitor about to be hung, and ask for Walter SST bits. They're a little cheaper, and like one degree below cobalt. These bits will go through the lock steel no problem. No, in case you're wondering, I'm not a locksmith, I'm an outside sales rep for an industrial supplier here in BC, I sell thousands of drill bits in a month, did a 3 day course on the bloody things drilling through almost every metal imaginable. To help with the heat that will generate you could use the Walter Coolcut product, the part 53-B013, slacklands should have it as well, it's basically a cutting wax, works great, you drill faster and make your bits stay sharp longer.

Also, after watching HEAT, with Pacino, DeNiro, Kilmer etc I've always wanted to try this one. Get an oversize key,weld a bolt on the end, or it might have just been a bolt machined to fit into the keyhole, hammer it in real hard, thenk the deadbolt with a breaker bar. If you try this one, let me know how it works out, I've always been curious.

Have fun
